Don’t understand this fight. That said, it’s not a terrible fight .

it’s interesting to read the different opinions of a fight where a guy moves up.

Other fighters do this and they get praised for taking a risk. Tank does this, against a quality guy at 140 but not the top guy, and people immediately talk about who he isn’t fighting.

wish the same standards applied to everyone.

a quality guy? hes had one notable fight in which he was given a gift decision. look at tanks resume. if this was just a one off easy fight to prepare for bigger and better things then ok understandable, but this is the bigger and better thing lol!

It's actually an insult to compare Broner to Davis, if you know your boxing. (Sorry, Larry.)

both ate their way through division after division fighting bums but broner actually fought much better opposition

You think Tank KOs Barrios? I'm not sure about that!

I mean I'm not one of these guys who are X guy is 100% winning & 100% by KO to be clear.

So I'm not making a biblical statement I'm just saying in less words I see this as a 80/20 Tank leaning fight where more often than not Tank catches him.

More importantly I think some folks are making far too much of Barrios' size. He's a bigger guy sure, but he's also much less skilled & talented. And I'll take skill over size, particularly when it's only 5lbs, all day. This ain't some good big man beats a good small man situation.

This article is a fabrication.....there is no way this card is PPV....Edward Hearn came all the way from England to the USA to tell Americans “PPV is dead” and that dayzin killed it. He said his “American takeover” was afoot.....so therefore I must believe like a good matchroom incel that this is all a lie!

What does "PPV" level fight mean? There is no such thing as "PPV level" fight.

Hardcore fans matter very little when it comes to putting a fighter or fight on PPV or not.

Agree with you 100%. The people who seem to talk about PPV the most & what it is or isn't usually understand it the least.

Everyone can have an opinion but yours is way off on the outer spectrum . Come back towards normality before you slip into some parallel universe where Tank outboxes SRR and becomes POTUS after trouncing Trump.

I think only 9 in ten posters at best would have Crawford below Davis. On eye test I have Ennis, Crawford and Stevenson at the top and on resume I'd have Jermell top.

Yours sounds funny. All good with me.

What do you think, bro? I know you don't hate this fight.

That's your opinion. I still think Broner's best win was Antonio DeMarco. It doesn't say much.

Translation: They hired the next diver for the pbc pretender fraud who will never fight Loma or Lopez or Garcia. Davis is a protected fraud handpicking shame. Mayweather's only asset who will never be allowed to lose.

Translation: They hired the next diver for the PBC pretender fraud who will never fight Loma (franchise/stay away from the black fighter Devin Haney) or Lopez (franchise/stay away from the black fighter Tank) or Garcia (WBC and ODLH will make sure he doesnt fight any negroes). Aghh, Loma Lopez and Garcia...the pinnacles of courage! See I fixed it for you...moron.

It's odd to see people on here giving Tank crap for fighting Barrios but the same people complained he picked on smaller fighters. Make up your minds already or just say you dont like Tank. It's a risky fight and could very well be an all out war.

It's also odd that there are 3 different platforms to deal with so he can't just waltz over to TR and DAZASTER and make a fight. Just like Ryan was calling Tank out all year then backed out when Hearn called Oscar and told him to tell Ryan to shut up because he fights on DAZASTER only. Hearn know he's down to 3 or 4 fights that will move subs in the US and that's Ryan v Devin, 3G v Nelo and Andrade v 3G/Nelo and none of those fights will ever happen on DAZASTER. Devin will probably be with TMT on Showtime when the contract ends next month. Andrade will probably be dropped cause he can't move subs. Nelo will probably be fighting # straight PPVs on FOX. So Hearn has to hold out to the last second to try and get one of these fights to happen
